    Well ladies!

    Found an amazing discovery on bay of e last night...SPANDEX CHAIR COVERS! I don't know if anyone knows about them, i haven't seen them mentioned on here yet. (I laughed so much at the name as you never associate spandex with chairs!)

    Mentioned it to a few people, they laughed too (coz they never heard of it either!) then one person i spoke to today said they had heard of it and said it was much much better than the cotton etc ones - no creases, fits any chair, available in more colours. Tbh i think its genius and really considering it for our venue!

    Plus you can get spandex bands for the chairs as an alternative to organza which i like too :-)

    They look a bit odd to me if i'm honest - reminds me of those strange stag party costumes - im worried a man might jump out of the chair lol!

    There are so many people out there who will tell you
    what you can't do.
    What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

    Ahahaha the morphsuits! i know what you mean. You can get ones with a straight bottom to them as well which i think i prefer to the arch.

    I like th idea of it not looking creased, its easy to fit and fits any chair so dont have to worry about whether the chairs are arched backed or straight backed at top. Still laughing now at name, surely they could of thought of something more catchy!

    Im sorry but I agree with nicsquared.... not that keen... dont look as elegant as the others, but thats just my opinion only. I can see the advantage of no creases but if you hire carefully, this wont be an issue anyways

    cant wait to be Mrs Evans less than 3 weeks woooo
    start weight 10st 1.5 lbs
    weight now 8st 4.5 lbs
    total loss to date: 24.5 lbs now need to maintain!

    If i was honest im not too fussed about elegant, just something a bit quirky and unique that will stand out. Im aiming to be a bit different thats all! i may change my mind but for now im kinda hooked on these :-)

    dont apologise! spandex aint for everyone! hehe x

    I kind of like them, they're growing on me. Think I'd still have an organza or satin sash though x

    Urn....what's wrong with chairs? My venue has gold style fabric back and seat chairs. My other venue has folding wooden chairs - all adds to the rustic charm....

    I'm now a married woman
    I have a gorgeous husband
    Whats to do now
    Theres no more wedding planning to do

    we're having lycra ones like that so that they are snug to the chair but we are sticking to the organza sash, they look so much better in real life

    See im looking at these coz its the "thing" to have chair covers BUT because of where we're having the venue they have these lush black glossy chairs with metal legs and a white Man Utd logo on the back of each cahir (which im assuming they use for hospitality/corporate events) so Rags good post because I hadn't even thought about asking if we could use them which would be so much better and cheaper for us!

    Honest opinion?
    I find them really awful. But I don't like the cotton covers either. But those are really awful.

    Yer there not for everyone i guess. I just hate the cotton ones so much! If they have decent chairs then i might leave covering them. I dont wanna cover the chairs in the ceremongy AND at the meal. will cost a bomb! Gunna be one of the other so hope them black glossy chairs work out!
